E.C. Segar Thimble Theatre Starring Popeye Daily Comic Strip Eugene the Jeep Original Art dated 7-29-36 (King Features Syndicate, 1936). Over the years, there have quite a few unusual "animals" featured as bit players in comic strips that have become cultural icons -- Al Capp's Shmoo in Li'l Abner and Snoopy in Charles Schulz's Peanuts immediately come to mind. One of the earliest examples is also one of the strangest creatures ever to roam the funny pages. Eugene the Jeep was first introduced on March 16, 1936 as a present to Olive Oyl, sent by her explorer Uncle Ben Oyl. The Jeep was explained to be "an animal living in a three dimensional world... but really belonging to a fourth dimensional world" by way of life cels from that dimension somehow crossed over and mixed with those of an African "Hooey Hound." The Jeep could, at will, disappear and walk through walls and ceilings, with the power to communicate through body language.
In this daily, which came at the end of a plotline involving Mr. Chizzleflint's attempt to steal Eugene, the mysterious pet is gifted to Popeye from Olive, who was obviously tired of his shenanigans. Popeye, knowing the Jeep's abilities, welcomes the little guy, and together they will soon begin a quest to find Popeye's long-lost father, Poopdeck Pappy. It is, as they said in Casablanca, "the beginning of a beautiful friendship." This important daily, titled "Come to Papa," was featured in Shirley Glubock's 1979 book The Art of the Comic Strip, on Pages 44 and 45.
The art is in ink over graphite with blue pencil on Bristol board, with an approximate image of 20.5" x 4.5". There is some minor handling wear and a few very light stains, but is otherwise in Excellent condition. It's five panels of pure Segar magic, and a must-have for any serious Popeye collector. "Jeep Jeep!"

The art is ink and watercolor over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 17" x 21". It is signed in the first panel, and has a funny "Tom Sawyer" joke in it. We think the best joke on the page however, is in the personalized message on the bottom margin... it is signed "To Jimmy Hatlo: I'm sending this a bit late. I'll do it every time! Frank King, 1946". Jimmy Hatlo's own long-running famous comic strip was titled They'll Do It Every Time. This Sunday has toning, with pinholes in the corners, and it is affixed to a backing board in a matting.

This Sunday was produced during the period that Frank Frazetta was an assistant to Capp, and pains were made to make sure there were enough bee-yoo-tee-full wimmens in the strips for Frazetta to draw. Thankfully, that is something that Dogpatch, USA does not run short of. The Sunday was created in ink over graphite on three sections of Bristol board with a combined image area of 27.5" x 18".

Created in ink over blue pencil on bright white 11.5" x 17.5" Bristol board. It is signed BWS and dated 2012 on the lower left side, and signed and dated again on the reverse. In Excellent condition.

John Romita Sr. - The Falcon New Costume Design Original Art (c. 1971). The original design piece for the Falcon's new duds is enough to make any Marvel fan face front. It is an undisputable bit of Mighty Marvel History! This original art design is almost exact as to how the costume appeared on Page 15 of issue #144. Created in mixed media on paper taped to matting board, there is some discolored production tape in places with whiteout art corrections over the top. Of note, the detailed graphite inset of the falconer's glove, with retractable swingline claw. The matted image area measures 9.25" x 13". The paper is wrinkled, with a minor stain on the right, and the noted discolored tape. "Johnny Romita" is handwritten on the back of the board. At first we couldn't decide whether this represented the artist's signature, but luckily we had the opportunity to consult Mr. Romita himself, who told us "the autograph probably is mine but not sure I ever signed 'Johnny' again." In Very Good condition.

Neal Adams and Dick Giordano Super DC Calendar 1976 Back Cover Illustration Original Art (DC, 1975). An image immediately familiar with comic book fans, this began life as the back cover for this fantastic 1976 calendar. Next, some paste-up was added to the center circle (still affixed to the artwork) so this image could be used as an advertisement card for newsstands. Then, in mid-1976, it was used as the basis to lightbox a new piece of art for the front cover for the Limited Collectors' Edition #C-46: Justice League of America. The changes made in this image were to replace the center area with the Justice League of America seal, and to replace Captain Marvel with Aquaman, along with some subtle inking changes. This last image was also later used on T-shirts and on a pint glass. The original art was created in ink over graphite on 15.5" x 13.5" Bristol board. Very slight glue residue near some of the paste-up center parts, with a bit on Batman's hand and lower cape. Some tape in the edges and margin. Overall in Very Good condition.

Curt Swan and George Klein Superman #195 Story Page 11 Krypto Original Art (DC, 1967). A great bit of Silver Age DC with some interesting ties to some classic creators. The last panel on this page ties in with the cover scene. The cover was purportedly suggested by Cary Bates, who would become a regular writer in the early 1970s. The story written for the cover image was by Jim Shooter, a writer for DC's Legion of Super-Heroes stories and later the Editor-in-Chief for Marvel Comics. This page features Krypto and two green Kryptonite traps. It was rendered in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15". Lightly toned, with a stripped-in text correction, and in Excellent condition.

Jack Kirby and Paul Reinman X-Men #2 Story Page 11 Original Art (Marvel, 1963). It was the X-Men's second issue, but it was the first appearance for the mutant menace known as The Vanisher! The story title was "No One Can Stop The Vanisher", but then he didn't count on the uncanny mutant might of the X-Men! Created twice-up scale in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 12.75" x 18.75". Page 11 of the story ran as Page 15 in the issue due to ads. Light toning, otherwise, in Excellent condition.

Jack Kirby and Paul Reinman X-Men #2 Story Page 8 Danger Room Original Art (Marvel, 1963). It was Marvel's merry mutants' second issue, and already they were setting up the tropes that would become fan-favorite attractions to this title. Here we have part of the first ever Danger Room training sequence. Only the Iceman is missing from this page, as you have Professor X, the Angel, Marvel Girl, Cyclops, and the bounding Beast! It is an uncanny page from early in Marvel's Silver Age, created twice-up scale in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 12.75" x 18.75". Light toning, and there is a 3" rip in the top margin (down, between Panels 2 and 3) that has been repaired with tape. Page 8 of the story ran as Page 10 in the issue due to ads. In Very Good condition.

Charles Schulz Peanuts Sunday Comic Strip Original Art dated 12-21-58 (United Feature Syndicate, 1958). Every panel in this Sunday is a charming image of many of the original Peanuts cast! Included are Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus van Pelt, Pig-Pen, Violet, Patty, Shermy, and Schroeder. This many characters in a single strip is quite a rarity. Almost anyone reading this has seen the beloved annual showing of the 1965 A Charlie Brown Christmas animated feature. Linus' big scene in the Christmas play is a highlight of the show. This Sunday comic strip pre-dates that animated special by seven years, to quite different results! Created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 22.5" x 15". It was once folded vertically through the middle; however, that has been pressed flat and is hardly visible now. Excellent condition.

Sal Buscema and Sam Grainger Avengers #69 Cover Stat Production Art (Marvel, 1969). A classic cover from a beloved period in Avengers' history. Hank Pym had already become Yellowjacket, and Hawkeye had temporarily taken the mantle of Goliath. Kang and the Growing Man face off against Black Panther, Thor, the Vision, and Captain America, and Janet Van Dyne is in danger. The main images are all composed of paste-up stats. Only the outer most edges are original art, including Janet's feet and Goliath's lower left leg via holes cut in the stat. The corner box, logo, and all text are stats on this 10" x 15" cover on World Color Bristol board. The board and stats are toned, with some glue residue near the stat edges. There is a minor rip in Goliath's knee inside the stat's cut-out hole. In Very Good condition.

Neal Adams Green Lantern/Green Arrow #85 Story Page 4 Original Art (DC, 1971). Oliver Queen just can't catch a break on this page that starts the ball rolling for the story "Snowbirds Don't Fly". The "Hard Traveling Heroes" gig had been going since GL/GA #76, but this is the most famous issue in the entire run, because of the shocking revelation that Speedy was on the Dope. This page was created in ink and Zipatone over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15". Light toning and a small piece of the bottom left corner is ripped out, just into the panel.

Neal Adams Green Lantern/Green Arrow #85 Story Page 13 Original Art (DC, 1971). Green Arrow finds his estranged ward, Roy Harper (aka Speedy), in amongst drug dealers and users.

Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers Fantastic Four #14 Story Page 9 Sub-Mariner Original Art (Marvel, 1963). An early page featuring both Johnny and Ben using their powers, along with the Puppet-Master and Namor. O.K., it's just a mental projection of the Sub-Mariner on the page, but he was under the control of the Puppet-Master, so a battle is brewing for sure! The page was rendered twice-up scale in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 12.5" x 18.5". In Excellent condition.

Frank Frazetta "Tree of Death" Painting Original Art (1970). As amazing in its layout as it is for the subject matter, this incredible painting by legendary master painter Frank Frazetta features a sinewy barbarian rescuing a wizard from a horrific tree hell-bent on having a magical lunch! Three years after it was painted, it was used as the cover for the paperback Flashing Swords #2 published by Nelson Doubleday. It was also used for a poster print in 1980 and later appeared in a Frazetta art book; yet, many hard-core Frazetta fans have never even seen this one before. The oil on board painting has an image area of 15.75" x 19.5" in the ornate 22.5" x 26.5" open-front wooden frame. It is signed and dated in the lower right of the image area.

John Romita Sr. and Frank Giacoia Amazing Spider-Man #100 Cover Original Art (Marvel, 1971). One of the most iconic covers from Marvel's best-known character! Fans were excited to see pencils by John Romita Sr., a spider-artist revered for his nearly five-year run on the title from issue #39 through #95. This is also possibly Marvel's greatest "floating heads cover" ever, as this beauty featured pretty much anyone who was anyone in the Spider-verse! His entire supporting cast (Aunt May, Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane, Harry Osborn, J. Jonah Jameson, Betty Brant, etc.) is present as you would expect, along with the major Spidey-villains: Doc Ock, Vulture, Scorpion, Rhino, the Lizard, the Beetle (ever notice how many of Spider-Man's enemies are based on animals?), Sandman, Kingpin, Kraven the Hunter, Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, and Mysterio. There are also many of his more obscure friends and foes: the Prowler, Captain Stacy, Robbie Robertson, Ringmaster, the Shocker, and a guy named Joe! You can pore over this piece for a long time and still notice someone new!
Created in ink over blue pencil on World Color Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15". The corner box and logo are paper paste-ups. The "100th Anniversary Issue" banner is missing, leaving the original art below visible. (A replacement banner has been added to an acetate overlay.) In the place of the missing original banner, you can see how some faces were obscured and then added to other places on the cover. The top of Kingpin's head became Mysterio's dome helmet, and a paste-up of Kingpin was added to the top. Likewise, Jameson's head is an original art paste-up. Signed by Romita in the lower margin. In amazing Excellent condition.

Richard F. Outcault Buster Brown Sunday Comic Strip Original Art (Newspaper Feature Service, 1907). As the title indicates, we get to meet Buster's name-sake in "Uncle Buster is a dear old soul." Buster Brown, of course, is a scamp of the worst sort. This undated Sunday feature was produced in ink over graphite on Bristol board. The piece was then affixed to a large sheet of illustration board and trimmed to approximately 19.5" x 25". This cuts right through the top tier which had the logo and story title. The page is partially hand-colored with watercolor to give indications to the printer. The piece has edge and corner damage. In Good condition. From the Outcault Family Collection.

Charles Schulz Peanuts Daily Comic Strip Snoopy Original Art dated 11-7-59 (United Feature Syndicate, 1959). Snoopy on his dog house in 1959! These scenes are highly-sought by collectors, and this one is particularly interesting in that is is just before the characters and locals stabilized into the look that we most recognize today. As such, you will note that the dog house is just a touch smaller in this appearance than it would seem later on. This daily was created in ink over graphite on Bristol board. Each panel has been trimmed out, and affixed to a larger sheet of 28.75" x 7" illustration board. There is glue residue near the edges of the individual panels and overall light toning. In Very Good condition.

Charles Schulz Peanuts Daily Comic Strip Linus and Lucy Original Art dated 1-31-62 (United Feature Syndicate, 1962). The Van Pelt siblings get the entire strip to themselves this time.

This work was rendered in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 27.25" x 5.5". Signed in the last panel, and signed/personalized in ball point pen across the first two. The board has been folded between the middle panels to allow mailing to and from the syndicate. Overall in Excellent condition.

Otto Messmer (as Pat Sullivan) Felix the Cat Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 7-27-32 (King, 1932). A BIG comic strip (with an image area of 24.5" x 15") from a day when comics ran BIG and were drawn even BIGGER. The signature cites Pat Sullivan, but history has proved the primary, long-term Felix artist to be Otto Messmer, who managed Sullivan's studio while toiling unbilled as a ghost-artist. As the first cartoon character created expressly for moving pictures (around 1919), Felix made a graceful transition to comic-strip stardom and, by the time of this splendid piece, was among the newspaper industry's most effective circulation-boosters. Here, the cat explores his ritzy new home in search of privacy. Ink and blue pencil highlights over graphite on Bristol board, matted and Plexiglas-front framed to an overall 30.5" x 11.75". In Excellent condition.

It has had very slight reconditioning to clean the surface and fill in minor paint loss on the edges from a previous framing. In Excellent condition.

Richard F. Outcault Buster Brown Sunday Comic Strip Original Art dated 3-26-16 (Newspaper Feature Service, 1916). We believe this to be the first appearance of Smithy! Up to this point, Buster Brown was the scamp of the strip, but Smithy out-scamps Buster at every turn! He has a near Alfred E. Neuman/"What? Me Worry?" look in the separate header panel. This historic Sunday was created in ink over graphite on two sheets of Bristol board. The header has an image area of 18.75" x 3.75", and the body has an image area of 18.75" x 20". This gives them a combined area of approximately 18.75" x 24".

Here's a great one from Action Comics #48 (May 1942) by Fred Ray. Ray is best remembered for his great Superman covers on this title. He was one of the finest artists of his day and the original art to his covers commands a hefty hammer price. We love the layout on this page! Ink over graphite on illustration board with an image area of 13" x 18". Overall toning, edge wear, some whiteout corrections, and corner wear. In Very Good condition.

Robert Crumb Despair #1 Complete 1-Page Story "Morbid Sense of Humor" Original Art (Print Mint Inc, 1969). The inside front cover for this one-shot features a rather gruesome self-portrait of R. Crumb as a sadist. Crumb often presented himself in an exaggerated and uncomplimentary light for self-deprecating comedic effect. This hard poke-in-the-eye piece has been reprinted several times, including in Carload o' Comics, The Complete Crumb Comics #6, and The R. Crumb Handbook, making it a rather well-known piece.

Jack Kirby and Mike Royer New Gods V2#2 Cover Black Racer Original Art (DC, 1984). Kirby delivered an all-new cover for this 1980s reprint of the original New Gods #3 and 4. The story "Death is the Black Racer" introduced a new character to Kirby's epic Fourth World saga that was equal parts terrifying and strange. He seemed almost a take-off on Kirby's previous Marvel creation, the Silver Surfer, but with a macabre and deadly twist.

The logo, DC bullet, price info, and all cover text are stat paste-ups.

Gil Kane and Tony DeZuniga Star Wars #9 Cover Original Art (Marvel, 1978). This was the bestselling title in the industry in 1977-78, ringing up sales so high that it "saved Marvel" by some accounts. So most everyone will remember this cover featuring Han Solo. Kids all over America hungered for more Star Wars material, and the first new story arc following the movie adaptation was provided by Roy Thomas, with a Magnificent Seven-like yarn featuring Solo in the Yul Brynner role. He's joined on the cover by his recruits Hedji, Amaiza, and the rabbit-like Jaxxon. Kids who read the comic will remember Jaxxon fondly, though not everyone was a fan: Thomas has recounted a phone call from Lucasfilm's Charles Lippincott who told him that George Lucas "particularly disliked one of the [Magnificent Seven-like characters] being a six-foot alien who resembled a green Bugs Bunny in space gear."
Ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 9.75" x 15". The image area is somewhat sun-struck from a previous framing.

We can easily see Buster pulling this prank on Tige. Best of all, this strip is signed and very sweetly personalized "To Alf Thorsjö, my first fan in Sweden, with best wishes, Bill Watterson" in the lower margin. Created in ink over graphite on bright white Bristol board with an image area of 12" x 3.75". In Excellent condition.

George Papp Adventure Comics #174 Story Page 5 Green Arrow Original Art (DC, 1952). Green Arrow was often described as "Batman with arrows." This page showcases his Arrowcar, youthful sidekick (Speedy), and crime-fighting technological gimmicks. He was so popular that he was one of the few DC characters to continue to be published from the Golden Age to the Silver Age despite not having his own book. Now he has his own TV series.

Neal Adams and Dick Giordano Batman #232 Story Page 5 Ra's al Ghul Original Art (DC, 1971). From his first appearance and one of the most famous Ra's al Ghul stories ever, "Daughter of the Demon", in which he discovers Batman's secret identity. That is clearly evidenced on this page with an unmasked Bruce Wayne in full Bat-togs.

Jim Starlin FOOM #9 Cover Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock, and Captain Mar-Vell Original Art (Marvel, 1975). Who better to do the cover for the "Cosmic" issue than Jim Starlin? And who better to star on the cover than the Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock, and Captain Mar-Vell? FOOM was the pro-zine published by Marvel (a fanzine published by professionals is a pro-zine). The name was taken from "F.O.O.M.", which stood for "Friends Of Ol' Marvel", and it was initially created and designed by Jim Steranko. This stellar piece was created in ink and Zipatone over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15". There is some whiteout art correction in places.

E. C. Segar Popeye Daily Comic Strip Featuring Bluto Original Art dated 9-24-32 (King Features Syndicate, 1932). This daily features a raucous round from the historic first slugfest between Popeye and his arch-nemesis, Bluto. Few, if any, comic strip characters enjoyed a knock-down, drag-out fight as much as E. C. Segar's pugnacious powerhouse, Popeye. This episode hails from the milestone story, "The Eighth Sea," which kicked-off on September 12, 1932 when Bluto promised to kill Popeye at daybreak. The titanic fist-fight started on 9-20-32 and ran until 9-30-32! However, as the title suggests, the squinky-eyed sailor is "Not at the end of his rope" in this episode. This slam-bang daily was created in ink over graphite with blue pencil shading, and an image area of 20.5" x 4.5". Signed in the last panel and in Eggs-ka-lunt... er, Excellent condition.

The second part of the "All-New, All-Different" Fantastic Four... Wolverine, Mr. Fix-It (the Grey Hulk), Spider-Man, and Ghost Rider! These four characters were the un-official "guest-star squad" at Marvel during this time period, and Walter Simonson thought it would be funny to make a team out of them. This part of the wacky story was titled "Eggs Got Legs! ... or Love Conquest All!" The page allowed Art Adams to go nuts drawing Mole Man's multitude of minions, along with a few Skrulls thrown in for good measure. The page was created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15.25" (counting the paste-up indicia). All text on the left side is stat paste-up.

That friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is getting not-so-friendly, as the Kingpin of Crime takes a powerhouse pounding on this page from the story "Crisis on Campus!" A story set on a college campus was a calculated move by John Romita Sr. and Stan Lee (who plotted and scripted the tale), as Spider-Man was immensely popular with college kids at the time.

Robert Crumb Motor City Comics #2 Complete 1-Page Story: "...Stop Watching TV" Original Art (Rip Off Press, 1970).

This stellar page takes the social-critic stance, condemning television in the same terms ("a vast wasteland") that the pioneering broadcast executive Pat Weaver had used when delivering a cautionary statement during the 1950s.

A charming and well-remembered piece, the finished painting (CB OIL 127) was created to celebrate Donald Duck's 50th birthday. It is reported (by our consignor) that on the back of this board is a note from Carl Barks explaining that this was an early concept and "at this point only the ducks and Daisy and Pluto were believed permissible to use.

This stunning Sunday episode hails from the storyline "Tarzan and the Adventurers" (which ran from October 30, 1949 through July 16, 1950). Burne Hogarth's fantastic art makes the scene feel truly adventurous, and that last panel is simply ominous.

It is worth noting that both the smaller Conan head on the left, the title, and the REH credit are all hand-drawn, not stats. Superb craftsmanship by a master illustrator.

Charles Schulz Peanuts Daily Comic Strip Charlie Brown and Lucy Original Art dated 5-7-64 (United Feature Syndicate, 1964). A funny strip with a bit of a story behind it! A 1963 news article alerted Schulz to the discovery of "Eraserophagia" by Doctors J. L. Curry and W. J. Howland. This equates to "nibbling on pencil erasers", which then show up as mysterious spots on X-rays. Schulz worked the disease into a weeklong bit in Peanuts from 5-4-64 to 5-9-64. One of the funniest was this strip from 5-7-64, with Lucy's characteristic brand of compassion for her fellow man. As the personalized message in the top margin indicates, this was gifted to Dr. W. J. Howland himself. The piece was created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 27" x 5.5". The strip is signed in the last panel in the top margin.

Walt Kelly Pogo Daily Comic Strip Original Art 10-22-48 (New York Star, 1948). This is the earliest Pogo strip we have ever offered!

Bernie Wrightson Creepshow Partial Story "The Crate" Original Art Group of 2 (New American Library, 1982). Getting Bernie Wrightson to illustrate the adaptation of Stephen King's Creepshow was a stroke of genius. It is the finest homage to EC Comics that one can imagine. This story segment, titled "The Crate", starred fan-favorite actress Adrienne Barbeau as Wilma Northrup, and Hal Holbrook as her long-suffering husband Henry. As much as fans love her, the scene included here where Henry daydreams of shooting her was one of the most startling (and satisfying) in the movie. The pages were brilliantly created in ink and gouache on illustration board with image areas of 12.5" x 16".

Graham Ingels Vault of Horror #25 Story Page 4 Original Art (EC, 1952). The Old Witch puts a preface on this page of the story "Collection Completed!"

Robert Crumb - Hand-Drawn "Map to Eric's Place" Original Art (c. early 1970s). An original hand-drawn map to a friend's place, probably from the early 1970s period when Robert was living in San Francisco with Kathy Goodell, while wife Dana remained in Potter Valley.

Art is in black marker on cardboard, matted with an opening size of 10.25" x 13.5" and framed using Plexiglas for an overall size of 15.75" x 19" Unsigned. Very Good condition.

Robert Crumb - Hand-Drawn "Potter Valley" Map Original Art (c. early 1970s). In 1970, using a $5,000 advance from Ballantine for his Head Comix book, Robert and Dana Crumb bought a former commune in Potter Valley, CA, practically sight-unseen, to escape the madness of the city's hippie scene. There, they lived with young son Jesse, while Robert tended goats and chickens as he continued to pump out Underground comic books. Here's an incredibly rare hand-drawn map done for a friend, showing the route from San Francisco to their shack of a home, some 150 miles north. In the upper left, Crumb added a "Come to Beautiful Potter Valley" illustration of Flakey Foont driving an old car (Dana in fact drove a 1947 Pontiac during that time). The art is in black marker, atypical of Crumb but logical for something like this, which was never meant to be published or seen outside of Crumb's close circle of friends. It's on paper that has been matted and framed with Plexiglas, for an overall size of 15.75" x 19". Unsigned. Very Good condition.

John Byrne What The--?! #7 Cover Original Art (Marvel, 1990). This cover features parodies of the Avengers and the Justice League of America. Most fans remember John Byrne for his long runs on Fantastic Four, Uncanny X-Men, Avengers, or even Alpha Flight, but many forget that he cut his comic book artist's teeth on humor comics... Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch, and Rog-2000 stories. Here, he gets to show his silly side yet again with this title that was a loving tribute to Marvel's Not Brand Echh! Created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 9.75" x 15". The corner box, logo, and header info are stat paste-ups.

Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers Sgt. Fury #13 Story Page 15 Original Art (Marvel, 1964).

From the classic story "Fighting Side-By-Side With... Captain America and Bucky!" which features their first meeting with the Howling Commandos. This twice-up scale page was created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 12.5" x 18.5". Light toning with just a bit of whiteout art correction on the Howitzer barrel.

Slight paste-up glue residue is in the top margin.

Other changes include: the buildings were moved up in the image area and/or changed; Sue was moved away from Reed's leg; more of the Human Torch can be seen; and the smoke around the Pogo Jet changed. Some of these alterations were done on this page with paste-up stats (since removed), and others seem to have been done after-the-fact on production stats.

There is a repaired rip on the right side margin. Signed by John Buscema in the lower margin. Overall, in restored Excellent condition, with great eye-appeal.

The colors on the printed cover did the background in a solid green to make Thor almost jump right off the page at you. Here, you don't have that to distract your eye from the highly-detailed and character-stuffed background. It features Loki, Ulik, Mangog, Hela (star of Thor: Ragnarok), Doctor Don Blake, Lady Sif, Karnilla the Queen of the Norns, and Balder the Brave.

Dave Hunt and Frank Giacoia Super Spider-Man #165 Cover Original Art (Marvel UK, 1976). A very spot-on redux of John Romita Sr.'s cover for Amazing Spider-Man #116, which this issue reprints in part.

Geof Darrow Hard Boiled #3 Story Page 55 Original Art (Dark Horse, 1991). Frank Miller and Geof Darrow's Hard Boiled was well-named, as stories just don't get much more gritty and hyper-violent than this one! Couple that with Darrow's penchant for insanely meticulous detail and you end up with pages that you could pore over for hours and still not notice every single little hidden treat. The retro art deco styling was an element that would show up in the creators' next collaboration as well... The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot. This page is inked on vellum with an image area of 10.75" x 15". It is signed in the lower margin. In Excellent condition.

Frank Miller Ronin #1 Story Page 18 Original Art (DC, 1983). Visitors get a rare glimpse of the security system at the Aquarius compound on this page from the ground-breaking 12-issue series.
Frank Miller's Ronin changed the direction of comics with its prestige mini-series format, combined with the fact that it was the first modern feature where DC allowed the creator to retain the rights to the character. Ronin has since been celebrated as among the most important and influential stories ever published. Miller is arguably the greatest superhero writer/artist to work during this period, and Ronin helped launch a much-needed comics revolution -- many feel that there would be no Sandman, Watchmen, or Dark Knight, without this visionary work leading the way. Ronin has inspired countless creators, among them Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame.
This is only one of a handful of pages from this series we have ever offered, owing to the comic industry lore that only pages from this first issue have ever left Miller's possession. That means there are potentially only 48 pages of the 296 pages from this six-issue series "out in the wild". And unlike many pages from Miller's other 80s works, the original art and writing here are pure Frank Miller, making this a rare treat indeed.
Crafted in ink over graphite on oversized Bristol board with an image area of 11.25" x 17.75". There is production tape in the margins, and some slight handling wear. Overall the page is in Excellent condition.

Mike Mignola Hellboy: Wake the Devil #5 Splash Page 12 Original Art (Dark Horse, 1996). The vampire Giurescu attacks Hellboy, who meets the attack "head on", you might say. POW! Created in ink over blue pencil on bright white Bristol board with an image area of 9" x 14". Signed by Mignola below the image area. A fantastic page that will look great in a frame on someone's wall. Make sure it is your wall. In Excellent condition.

Jim Steranko and John Tartaglione X-Men #51 Story Page 5 Iceman, Beast, and Polaris Original Art (Marvel, 1968). In what was only her third appearance, Lorna Dane, aka Polaris, is rescued by a smitten Iceman on this page. The story was titled "The Devil Had a Daughter!", and with good reason, as Lorna Dane turns out to be the daughter of Magneto himself! Fans of the green haired mutant should be watching Fox's TV series The Gifted, where she is a major character in the series. The page was created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15". The page is lightly toned, with a couple of minor production oil stains on the sides (in Panels 3 and 5). In Very Good/Excellent condition.

Moebius (Jean Giraud) Métal Hurlant #66 Story Page 1 Incal Original Art (Les Humanoides Associes, 1975). From the story "Neuraztenik Class Struggle", it features a nucleo-tactical warhead being used against a vast city/ship. When the story was reprinted in L'Incal #2 "L'Incal Lumiere" [The Incal Light] in 1982, this chapter was titled "Deprezzive Class Struggle" instead. It later saw print in the US Heavy Metal magazine V6#2 (May, 1982). Moebius art has long been associated with Heavy Metal, as he was a founding member of the French parent publication Métal Hurlant, and his art was illustrated for the Taarna section of the 1981 Heavy Metal movie. This page was created in ink over graphite on bright white 11.75" x 15" Bristol board. In Excellent condition.

Mike Mignola Hellboy: Almost Colossus #1 Story Page 19 Original Art (Dark Horse, 1997). Hellboy is seemingly overcome by small ghouls on this fantastic page from the 2-part mini-series that counts as Hellboy issues #12 and 13 in the "whole numbering" system. That's Kate Corrigan dangling from the rope in Panel 3. The page was created in ink over graphite and blue pencil on bright white Bristol board with an image area of 9" x 14". Signed by Mignola in the lower margin. In Excellent condition.
